Mallinnuspäivä 2026 – Back to Basics
**Onko kokonaisarkkitehtuuri hukkunut monimutkaisuuteen? On aika palata juurille, mutta uusin eväin.**
Tervetuloa mukaan perinteiseen, syvälle menevään arkkitehtuuripäivään Hanaholmeniin! Tänä vuonna riisumme turhat rönsyt ja keskitymme olennaiseen: laadukkaiden arkkitehtuurikuvauksien tuottamiseen mallintamalla.
Päivän aikana läpivalaisemme organisaation eri kerrokset ArchiMate-viitemallin mukaisesti. Emme vain keskustele, vaan **teemme**.
Jokainen osio sisältää asiantuntija-alustuksen, käytännön harjoitustehtävän ja yhteisen purun.
### 📅 Ohjelma 10.3.2026
* **09:00 – 10:30** **Tervetuloa & Motivaatiokerros**: Miksi muutamme ja mitä tavoittelemme

Päivän virallisen osuuden jälkeen siirrymme nauttimaan pohjoismaisista mauista **Ravintola Platsiin**. Plats yhdistää puhtaat raaka-aineet, saaristolaismaisemat ja huipputason gastronomian.

Through Our Lens - photography group!
Welcome to our new photography group!
This is an ongoing gathering for **Through Our Lens**, an ongoing empowerment photography and community storytelling workshop at MIITTI, Lapinlahden Lähde.
These sessions are **for those who are considering joining the regular weekly group.** You’ll always have space to ask questions and decide whether you’d like to participate.
**: About commitment :**
This is a process-based workshop series that builds over time. While life situations can change, we ask participants to join with the intention of attending sessions regularly and taking part in the shared group process.
The quality of the workshops depends on mutual presence, respect, and continuity within the group.
**:Through Our Lens:**
Through Our Lens is a community-focused photography series combining empowerment photography, identity exploration, and creative storytelling. Using only everyday mobile phones, participants learn to notice, capture, and express their personal experiences through images.
The project aims to:
* Create meaningful social connections.
* Strengthen cross-cultural understanding
* Support integration through shared creative expression
* Empower migrants and refugees to tell their own stories
* Build community through participatory arts practices
Grounded in the principles of empowerment photography, the project centres participants as authors of their own narratives.
Through workshops, storytelling exercises, and a community exhibition, participants reflect on their daily life, belonging, hopes, roots, identities, and experiences of belonging.
Finally, with the help of reflective sharing circles, and a small exhibition, participants share these themes with other participants and to the public.
**: WHEN**:
The group have begin with meetings on 10th of February and continue until mid-March. In between the meetings, there will be individual work based on the prompts presented during the groups. Registration is mandatory.

* **Talk 1 - "When QA Meets AI Everywhere" by [Katerina Kairo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/katerina-kairo-b3223546/)**
"AI is reshaping how we build and test software—and quality professionals are right at the center of this shift. In this talk, we explore how modern AI—from Narrow to Super AI—changes the testing landscape and introduces new methods like adversarial testing, data‑poisoning checks, and back‑to‑back validation. Grounded in ISTQB concepts and personal learning reflections, the session highlights how testers can stay relevant, skilled, and ethical in a world where AI is everywhere."
* **Talk 2 - "Why as Developer I Am Blind to Bugs" by [Tatu Aalto](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tatu-aalto/)**
"I have long history of testing and I have moved from testing to test automation and now days I am mostly happy to call my self as a developer in testing. During these transitions I have lost some of my testing skills and I have stated make certain type of bugs in my projects. As a developer, I have come blind to some user perspective features. This is story of what mistakes I have done in my projects, why I now understand my developers colleagues better and what I have done to regain my past knowledge as a tester. When I have got know my tester side again better, it has helped me to write better code and make less bugs in my projects. In this story I hope to educate my colleagues why making mistakes is human and what I have done to avoid those mistakes."

**MIITTI’s Principles for safer space:**
MIITTI wants to nourish a safe and pleasant environment for everyone, where everyone can feel safe as themselves. By joining as a volunteer, employee or participant of the event or activity, you agree to follow the guidelines below
*Non-discrimination*
I do not make assumptions about people based on their external characteristics or names. I treat all participants with respect, and I don’t use language or take actions that discriminate based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, age, religion, or any other characteristic. I respect pronouns and names.
*Boundaries*
I respect others' personal space and boundaries, both physical and mental. I acknowledge that I cannot know someone else's boundaries without asking first. I ask before touching. I listen to others and adapt my behavior if someone indicates that my behavior makes them feel uncomfortable.
*Creating Safe Environment*
Everyone is responsible for contributing to a safe and respectful environment. If I witness harassment, I do my part to support those who experience inappropriate or offensive treatment.
*Zero Tolerance for Harassment*
Our space upholds a strict zero-tolerance policy towards any form of harassment. Harassment, whether verbal, physical, or online, will not be tolerated.
If you experience or witness inappropriate behavior or harassment at our events, please report it to the MIITTI or Lapinlahden Lähde staff.

Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter.

Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Drake Lundstrom is presenting:
Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Abstract:
Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need!
If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo.
Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
